We were very happy to find this wonderful place. Spending a full day on an ATV tour with Blackhawk Tours in beautiful Arch Canyon, we stayed two nights at this neat ranch. Great Cabin, perfect restroom, and very nice people. A very good chance of recreation on our way to the Grand Canyon.

Wildlife Hikes / Photography

Golfing

Monticello, Utah is home to the Hideout Golf Club, voted Golf Week Top 5 Course in Utah. Only 25 minutes from the ranch. Visit www.monticelloutah.org

Fishing

Only 7 miles from the ranch. Either fish trout in the city reservoirs or fish bass or pike in Recapture Reservoir.

Day Hikes

One of our favorite day hikes is in SOUTH MULE CANYON. There are several ruins in this beautiful canyon. It is a very easy walk for you and for children. You can make it a half day hike or an all day adventure. There are many places to eat lunch and be inspired by nature and the ancient culture that lived here 700 to 1,000 years ago. Ask us about other great day hikes.

ATV Trails

There are many self guided trails that start at the cabin and continue into the Manti La-Sal National Forest. During certain times of the year you may see wildlife such as turkeys and deer.

4th of July

There is nothing compared to Blanding's 4th of July celebration! Don't miss this true small town USA celebration, starting with a parade; all day festivities; and ending with a fireworks display that has been quoted as being "better than disneyland's celebration!"

Museums

Water Activities / Picnicing

Choose from 3 reservoirs that are located only 6 miles from the ranch and enjoy swimming, boating, fishing, or picnicing!
